Decide for me, HeadFi
I'm having trouble deciding between the ATH-AD900, the HD600, the DT880 600-ohm, some Grado/Alessandro offering, the Q701/K550, and the HE-300/400. I listen to every type of music. I listen to Rock, Jazz, and Classical most often, however. Comfort is pretty much #1 priority here, if it...- Circuitbender

Creating a Thiel CS3.6 system
Hello guys, I have a pair of Thiel CS3.6 speakers in my possession. They are all blown out except for the subwoofers, which is why I got them for free. I'm currently in contact with Thiel about getting them restored, but I'm curious to see how much it would truly cost. I know you can't use Thiel...- Circuitbender

Having trouble... ATH-M50 vs. FA-003 vs. FA-011 vs. SRH840 vs. AH-D1100 vs...
Hey guys, I'm having trouble deciding between the four headphones listed in the title. I've previously owned and loved a pair of HD555s, and if they were closed I would still have them. However, I can't live with open headphones, and need some isolation. My only current listening device is...- Circuitbender

Looking for my next pair of IEMs
So, I currently own a pair of soundMagic PL50s, but the grilles covering the drivers actually came out (the glue started to loosen), so I'm either looking for replacement tips that will take care of that problem for me, or a new pair of IEMs. I want to stay under $200. A sound signature similar...- Circuitbender

Foam tip questions
Hey, I own a pair of PL50s that I quite like, but I've been wearing the same foam tips for 2 years and they're ready to be thrown in the trash. I was thinking about getting some Comply tips because my only complaint with the 'phones was that they would be very uncomfortable after 30...- Circuitbender

DT770 vs HD555(FM) and HD280Pro
Just as the title says, I own a pair of HD555s (Foam-modded) and a pair of 280 Pros. I'm thinking of selling both and getting the DT770s instead. It's not set in stone, but I want something in that price range (200-250). I listen mainly to rock, jazz, blues, and some electronic music, and I'm...- Circuitbender

Are there any out there? (Headsets)
Are there any computer/gaming/etc. headsets out there that have audio quality as good as full-size headphones? I want to get a headset (as in, microphone too) but I love the sound quality of my foam-mod HD555s and I don't want to give that up. They will be used for listening to a wide variety of...- Circuitbender

SR-60i or Portapro?
So, do you think the audio quality boost the 60is give is worth the extra 50 dollars? I consider both fairly portable, but obviously the Portapro is moreso. What do you guys think (trying to decide b/w these two, as my HD555s just aren't portable in the least).- Circuitbender

HD555 vs SRH440
So, how would the SRH440 sound compared to the HD555? I have a foam-mod HD555 that's been broken in for about 10-15 hours with rock music... I love it but I want a closed, circumaural pair of cans as well.- Circuitbender

I've had this CMOY project going since, oh, probably a full year ago. I sort of abandoned it after being too lazy to do the offboard wiring. Well I finally did the offboard wiring tonight in like an hour and the year-old CMOY is finally done! Here, have some pics Whole setup...- Circuitbender

Where do I go from here?
Hey guys, So, I currently have a pair of SoundMagic PL50s. They are great for me. They've been well-loved for almost a year now, and to be honest I'm perfectly happy with them. However, I really want to get into custom molded IEMs. It's just one of those things you have to experience So...- Circuitbender

Newbie question about signal path
Hey guys, Alright, so I'm not new to electronics, nor to audio, but there is something I've never really understood. If you are amping the audio coming out of a portable source (for now let's just say an iPod), how could the quality possibly be better than plugging the headphone straight...- Circuitbender

HD555
Hey guys, Just got a pair of HD555 because of the amazing deal posted on here a few days ago (75 dollars shipped was too good to pass up). Now I'm wondering if I just wasted 75 dollars. Basically, I don't have any amp. My sources are good (all V0 on my Sansa Fuze, or FLAC on my...- Circuitbender

Hey guys, I currently own the Sony MDR-V150s...For a first set of cans, they are pretty good, but I definitely want to step up.
